BRZ bottom rear bumper deflector/diffuser on FR-S?

Is it possible to bolt one on an FR-S?
Stick it on?
Glue it on?

Or should you just buy the whole rear bumper.

Good question. I like this look. And no, the FR-S doesn't have that piece.

I think it's just an add-on. It's on the Subaru website. It's called, "Rear bumper diffuser" retails at $749.00. So I'm pretty sure it's possible for an FR-S to get one.

This diffuser combined with my Five Axis rear bumper lip could look pretty good.

It bolts right on, but you have to remove the bumper to put it on.

There's a .pdf with installation instructions posted somewhere on this site which I think is also on STIS available for free to the public.
